ELON: COMMUNITY NOTES ARE THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON FOR COMBATING DISINFORMATION @elonmusk: “Now that we have community notes, which, while it's not perfect, I think, it's the best fact-checking that I've seen on the internet.  And so, if someone were to post false information, they can be community-noted.  No fact-checking system is perfect.  If perfection is the standard, you can just basically dispense with all fact-checking, because nothing will be perfect.  My observation of community notes is that the batting average, the probability that the note is correct is very high, much better than anything else that I've seen on the internet.  And everything in community notes, the code, the data, everything is open source, so you can independently recreate the outcome of any note as a third party.  I think that having the community notes capability is very powerful; it's the most powerful weapon that is actually combating disinformation.” x.com/marionawfal/st…
